I recently got a strange touchscreen issue.
When the device comes out of deep sleep (turn on the screen with power button) my touchscreen behaves weird. Normally, when I touch the unlock slider, it follows my finger. But not now....it's like long press is not recognized. I am able to unlock the screen by wiping my finger to unlock. But the slider is not following my finger. The strange thing is, after about 10 seconds, the issue is gone, and the slider follows my finger....
Also long press on the homescreen is not working during the first 10 seconds.
What I tried to solve:
I completely wiped the phone and reinstalled .42 firmware. Then updated tot ICS using Sony Update Service and also completely wiped my phone. The problem still there...then I flashed a custom ROM (shardur_seth spacious...and also his firmware) but the problem stille there.
Anyone else experienced this? Or any solutions I could try? It was there suddenly....could it be a hardware problem? But why is it gone after 10 seconds?
Thnx for your help
it happens for me sometimes, but most of the time when someone calling me i cannot at slide to answer. what im doing is i just press power button ones and it will silence and press the home key and it will work the slide key...
any solution for this also?

i face the same problem
my phone is in service center for repair
see the video below and check if ur problem is the same
Sounds like your phone is just sluggish, you're probably running too much in the background/have too much installed on the phone and it takes a while for the RAM to optimally load everything you need again after having cleared some of it whilst the phone was in sleep mode.

Yes, that's exactly the problem.....I also have the problem that I cannot longpress the home screen...U have the same issue? After 10 seconds or after tapping the screen multiple times, the issue is gone until the phone goes to sleep.
I too had this issue and narrowed it down to the sluggishness due to deep sleep.
What I did was,
1) Flash nightelf kernel
2) Installed Set CPU
3) Make profiles for Screen Off
4) Whenever I have the governor as "performance" I never had the issue
5) After lot of permutation combination, I fixed a screen off profile as 460max and 134 Min with conservative as governor.
6) Also added a new profile for "In Call" with "performance" governor.
The problem was gone. Yes, it happens once in a while but much better than the situation before.

Tried using your settings..first I had governor set to performance...but the problem still persists. Wheneven I turn on the screen I have the issue. It is possible to unlock the screen if I wipe fast enough....but it really is strange...why is the issue gone after a couple of wipes or some touchscreen pressess..
Could it be a hardware error....a sensor not getting ready or something? But why is the problem gone when the screen is on for a while.....

me also having same problem and touch is awesome but when the lock is open then this problem will occur and it will open after 2 to 3 attempts..
what's this i think this is not an hardware problem this is only the software ??//??
i have the same problem too. i think there is a problem with cpu.
I had these sometimes with certain combinations of kernel and ROM. Actually it's gone... (Alliance V1/JJs Hybrid ROM 3.1)
I suppose it's a combination of hardware and software configuration...
Anyone tried to higher the minimum CPU speed?

i tried. also i tried to set governor to different versions. and i tried nightelf rc5 kernel. nothing changed. problem still there.
today i realized that's not about only touchscreen. sometimes phone freezing.
problem with neo (mt15i) touch screen
use alliance night-elf v1.1 kernel.I had this problem but when I flash this kernel to my neo my touch screen works good same as the first day...
Well....for me suddenly the problem is solved!!!!
I'm very glad that my display is working again! It has been for about 3 months since I was facing the problem.
Unfortunately I do not have a clear solution to this, but I can explain what I did that day, and hopefully the solution is in there. But I can not garantee it.
What I did that day
1. I tried to get beats audio working, so I had installed a numerous of Beats libs. (see xda-developers for some of those libs). The last one I tried was Walkman port by ThilinaC. Not sure how this can be related to the display issue
2. I flashed a new rom. But this time I formatted /system and /data in CWM. Normally I just did a factory reset and installed the new rom. (but guess factory reset also formats /system and /data)
Still....guess this has nothing to do with the display
3. I did a offline charge. When my phone was empty I wanted to charge it fast. So I switched off my phone, and then connected the charger to offline charge the phone.
Really not sure how the above points could be a solution to de display failure, but guess if it was the digitizer that was the problem, it's strange that it is fixed out of knowhere....but the above actions are what I did that day....so maybe it's helpful and is the solution in there...maybe.
I'm glad the problem is gone
Yes, I am facing this exact problem, I am going to take my mobile to the service center !!!.

To the people of Turl's and Jokersax' CM9.
I have a touchscreen re-calibration app, I just tested it out and it seems to be working perfect. Don't hold me to it, but i think this is a pretty good temporary fix.
I'd love feedback, i didn't code this but after a few searches i was able to realize this is a universal fix for touchscreens that have been acting up.
Special thanks to gojimi. At least i hope.
Can you link the source please.
Cheers!
Just a question, do we actually need touch calibration after flashing cm9? Cause AFAIK, when I tried the jokersax rom, the only problem I had was app incompatibility and APN errors...

I know what you mean, sometimes homework takes away most of my time too. But just use CM9 as your daily driver, and you'll be well informed on any issues that will occur.

Hi,
I have a software issue with my touchscreen :
1/ Got stock ROM, then CM7, then CM7-Neutrino-2.2 => screen was OK
2/ Installed CM9-Turl-v8 => an unresponsive horizontal line appeared, around 100px high
3/ Tried to come back to CM7, CM7-Neutrino, CM9-Joker-0.4 => bug still there
4/ Tried this calibration app, but couldn't click the button because it was under the unresponsive line, so turned the phone into landscape or upside-down to execute => bug still there
5/ Flashed PDS fix => bug still there, fear of a hardware issue
6/ Installed CM9-Joker-0.5 with awesome Installer => touch screen goes totally crazy (phantom-touches), BUT the line is finally responsive !! So, le wild idea appears
7/ Retried this calibration app, this time in the right way => SCREEN FINALLY OK !!!...
8/ ... For about 2 hours... Now my phone combines 2 issues : a new horizontal line is unresponsive (thinner than the old one), and crazy phantom-touches happen really often...
I was desperate, but now I know my problem is software, I see hope ! Am I the only one to have this problem ?
Thank you in advance

After using nottachtrix arora installer to calibrate my touch would have random deadzones and w,e,s,z didnt work. Tried recalibrating with installer to only make it randomly worse or slightly better. This did the trick thoough. Thanks very much!!

am i the only one who experienced too much wake up delay?. i mean it took about 10-15 sec to wake it up. normally, when we press the home key, it'll wake up our ace within 1-2 secs, but in me it took 10 - 15 sec and i need to press the volume just to wake up my ace. i tried to reflash with odin, change my rom into cm 9, but no luck. what can i do to solve this problem?
Does it happens always? If so try setting min. frequency at 245 Mhz... Also governor to smartass v2

yes. it happens every time the screen turn off. i already did that, but nothing changed. i dont know what the problem of m ace
can someone tell me how to fix it?. it's really annoying. i always use my ace to check time, or check if there is any email, message received. but it always took about 10 - 15 secs to wake it up. dunno how did this happen to my ace. all i remember is i removed the sd card, then boom. it start to happen. and it always happen.
what is your internal memory free space and the RAM usage?
I also get the laggy problem when my dolphin browser is opened.
try RAM manager from pstore.

i have 83mb free in internal memory. dunno what is my RAM usage.. BUT, even if it is newly reflashed from odin, it still happens too much delay in wake up. so i try to flash a custom rom, CM 9 by mclaw, wipe the cache, wipe the delvik, restore factory settings, i already did all of them. but still, the the delay is there. 10-15 seconds delay in wake up..
how can i fix this?

EDIT: already tried to flash a new kernel. still no luck..
what rom are you using? cm variants have a known issue of having delayed wake up lags, and if you alread had tried flashing over odin try flashing over customized stock rom which are aboundantly found in the development section
maybe your phone using default min. frequency, if yes, change to 245 MHz
but in my case, my min-max freq is default, and it didn't affect my phone's wake up time
My screen off profile in SetCPU is 120Mhz Min and 320 at Max. I never had wake up problems in my phone. My question is, 15 seconds waiting is looong. Do you press just middle (HOME) button and wait for 15 seconds? Because in either case if you were/are on stock ROM flashed via ODIN. That must not be happening on stock.
If you're using CM based ROM, Is everything check in "buttons" section in Settings > CyanogenMod Settings > Input Settings?
I'm just checking which buttons you've assigned to wake up your device.

i already tried stock rom from odin, still it has the wake up extreme lag that took 10-15 secs. then i tried to flash custom rom, cm9, cm 7.1, 7.2, stock based rom, still no luck.. i think, it's the hardware of my ace that has problem.

i dont set any buttons to wake up my ace, means, it was using the default. even in stock rom flashed via odin, it still have the extreme lag wake up. i press the home button, the light turn on in the menu and back button (left and right of the home button), and if i just wait, it wont turn the lights on in the screen, sometimes, if i just wait the 15secs, it'll wake up and imediately sleep again bout less than 1 second. that's why i need to press the volume to wake it up
can someone know how to fix it?
Try to set Minimum Clock Frequency to 245 or flash Adrenaline Boost v2 then if you feel that you are running low on memory just give your Ace a Boost.
Sounds weird, but you mentioned earlier that you removed your SD card without unmounting? Try formatting the card and insert it when the phone is off OR erase it when in CWM recovery. Never know this might just work out. If it doesn't use Kies to update your phone to stock.(Tedious process I know). Hope it helps.
I'm surprised nobody thought of this as a hardware problem.
Do you still have a warranty?

my warranty is already void/expired. i really think that this is a hardware problem. because, i already tried what they said.. but nothing happens. still the same. i already tried to reflash again via odin twice. still got the extreme wake up delay. tried to flash a custom rom based on stock, still no luck, tried to flash a cm rom (7.1, 7.2, 9) still the same. tried to set the minimum frequency to 245, still the same. and i think, im the only one experiencing the 15 second wake up delay. that's why i think, it's the hardware that has the problem.

Hi guys,
Trying to work out if my phone is faulty or not.
When I turn the screen off, sometimes when I press the middle button to turn the screen back on, it won't turn on. The only way to turn it back on again is if I hold the power button for about 5-6 seconds to restart the phone again.
Does anyone know why? Or any solutions to this?
Happens twice on average a day, it's annoying having to restart the phone!
I think your getting SOD (sleep of death).
try using dorimanX kernel on default settings then see what happens.
Sent from my Galaxy SII
I will try it and see.
If it doesn't fix it, does it mean it's the phone?
Have you overclocked, underclocked, overvolted, undervolted, flashed anything in a bad order, flashed anything at all, changed GPU speeds, turned BLN on? If you answered yes to any of them I suggest you do a reset, reformat, flash a Samsung stock ROM, don't play with any apps that change the default CPU/GPU etc settings and see what happens before you buy a new phone.

The only thing I did was flash Resurrection Remix ROM. Everything else that's there I haven't touched.
I'll format to stock and see if it does it.
I have a minor niggle but wonder if it's due to something I'm doing wrong. I have full backup's of my TA partition and flash custom and stock rom's as and when I choose. I just have an annoying issue when i turn my screen back on it shows garbage pixels on the screen and slowly draws the screen til the bottom and then flashes to a properly drawn screen. Can I remove it or learn to live with it?

My test device - that I picked up very cheep as it had been dropped and the SIM reader no longer works - displays the same issue, I had always assumed it was because of the fall it had.
Sorry if that doesn't help you
like this?
http://youtu.be/oyv5QmD5uQA
Exactly the same issue thanks
Same here but my phone is allways in case and i never dropped it. Oh and factory reset or flashing another ROM is not solution.
Any ideas?
I can only guess that either the RAM fills up with the screen off and once it starts to clear when the power button is pressed it suddenly can draw faster, or it's because the CPU and GPU clock down and slowly ramp up on wake. I'll change my performance settings see if that changes things?!
I've changed the settings in performance. So goto settings, performance, profile and select performance instead of balanced or power save. This seems to have sorted the re-draw issue on the lockscreen, any change I'll let you know. Now I just need to get a basic knowledge coding/cooking rom's and start delving further into android!!

mine is a hardware issue. you will see that it is currently on cm12 but it has done that on Stock, 4.4.x custom and 5.0 CM/AOSP as well. It will only do this if it hasn't be used for a few hours.
I notice that the double click of the power button still opens the camera in nougat and now there doesn't seem to be a way to switch it off. I've accidentally triggered this twice, hit home to close camera, then pressed the power button to switch off. Soon after on both occasions the phone has partially rebooted in my pocket, sticking on the Wiley fox boot logo.
Anybody else confirm this behaviour? Not something you do everyday I guess......
Hi Ratbags, I tried it for you... I never noticed that tapping the power button twice starts the camera, but indeed it does; however my phone didn't reboot (so it also didn't get stuck).
Hallo ratbags, i can confirm this behaviour in my Swift 2 Plus with Nougat Android. Noticed that randoms reboots some while ago and with your hint about power double click i am able to reproduce it.
To switch it off
Go to parameters
Use the search option and search gestures
Click on Gestures and then you'll find the option you are looking for

Thanks for that. I believe Wiley fox are bringing out an update to fix this issue. Strange you can only get to that setting by searching or is it hidden away somewhere deep in a settings submenu?

I didn't find it anywhere else so I think it's hidden
There's others hidden menu (and some are not even working at all - like battery percentage). I think that it's the trace of some modifications of parameters that weren't done correctly, or those parameters were disabled because the option didn't work well.
With latest update Build no. TOS118C the Gestures are available in Options Menu. The "not quite random reboot" seems to befixed too. Tested it several times and got no reboot since 3 hours.
Was just scanning the forum for any reports of random reboots as I've also been having reboots and it hanging on the white WileyFox logo screen.
Have noticed it more since the more recent official updates and have even gone so far as a full factory reset, however, I've had the issue reoccur several times since then (reset done earlier in week) so will be interesting to see if disabling that camera gesture will help
Beyond that I'm thinking possibly a corrupt or "worn" SD Card as I have a MicroSD card, used to extend the internal storage, that I think I used for a year or so in my previously Swift so possibly suffering some mild wear....
